2. Lab coat?

   TachyNurseGuy posted a topic in NP Students

   Any NP students out there that have had to purchase a white lab coat? So far, my clinical instructors have cared less but I'm thinking I still may need one as I have a few more to go. My questions are...which length did you buy, where did you get it ...

   TachyNurseGuy replied to Angeljho's topic in NP Students

   I believe I will continue to think your simply another case of a nurse who wishes to close the gate behind him, in order to both protect his self inflated position and attempt to make others feel less worthy. I would question any other motives behind...

   TachyNurseGuy replied to CyndiRN72's topic in NP Students

   sxyreesa. The start of the program is all nursing theory, writing papers on theory and practice, as well as writing and participating in discussions. Really no way to prepare aside from becoming familiar with word & purchasing a decent apa progra...

8. Schools push APRN immediately-$$

   TachyNurseGuy replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

   I don't advocate going to NP school without RN experience..heck I personally placed myself in a variety of fairly bad, and low paying jobs just to gain a more well rounded background in prep for NP school. If I were king, all NP's would have a minimu...

   PS: any students who is in NP school should probably submit this conversation as a DQ post and align it with the ANA's position on contributing toward the profession. Focker out! 😊

    TachyNurseGuy replied to Angeljho's topic in NP Students

    Yes, Im constantly hearing the "walk in our shoes argument", its very helpful to students. Walden requires experience, so no that is not the case with my own school anyhow. I think when I am walking in "your" shoes, I will try and remember not to rep...

12. Another "Find Your Own Preceptor" Thread

    TachyNurseGuy replied to Angeljho's topic in NP Students

    How do we get NP preceptors if they are unwilling to take us, because they feel students of thier own discipline are poor and the educational system for APNs in also poor? This leaves us with MD's, DO's & PA's or am I missing something?

13. Another "Find Your Own Preceptor" Thread

    TachyNurseGuy replied to Angeljho's topic in NP Students

    Also, how does the time and sacrifice differ from my work in precepting critical care nurses and ER nurses? Why is it that my MD preceptors do not share this idea that students reflect their own practice?

14. Another "Find Your Own Preceptor" Thread

    TachyNurseGuy replied to Angeljho's topic in NP Students

    I'm with Walden..I have a 4.0 and start clinicals next month. Does this qualify as another poor program that does not supply preceptors?

15. Another "Find Your Own Preceptor" Thread

    TachyNurseGuy replied to Angeljho's topic in NP Students

    Actually many brick and mortar schools do not provide clinical preceptors either; although I'm unsure, from what I've heard I believe this is more the norm than not. In my home state (AZ) GCU, U0fP and NAU do not for sure. I spent a LOT of time findi...
